Driving South on US Route 95 to Yuma, Arizona

Today's drive will be easy and short....  2 hours on Arizona State Route 95 South to Yuma.





Our first stop is the ARCO







This is the lowest price for Diesel Fuel in Quartzsite.






There's a separate entrance &
Diesel Pumps for Trucks.





Eric tops off our motorhome's
fuel tank.





We turn south on US
Route 95....





... for most of today's drive.





I take pictures while
Eric drives.






Yuma is 73 miles away.




Eric & I discuss the
silhouette on this sign.

Is it a Deer, a Mule Deer,
a mistake, or something else?









I didn't find an answer.  Sonoran Pronghorn Antelope are found in Arizona, at higher elevations,  on the state's grassy prairies.  Southwest Arizona doesn't have abundant grasslands needed to support Antelope.

A Customs & Border Control
Checkpoint inspects vehicles
traveling north.









Be alert for Donkeys
on the road.




The sign at the fenceline says:
Danger
US Government Property
No Trespassing
Unexploded Ammo

 This fenced area is the Yuma Proving Grounds.





Orange flowers & green grass
are reminders of abundant
 winter rains.

Green fields surround

Eric & I return to Yuma Lakes







We receive a booklet on
crossing the US/Mexican
Border for Medical Services
in Los Algodones & a flier
for Alex Mobile Wash.







Eric & I set up our campsite
for the week.







Let's go to IN-N-OUT Burger.  I want to find out what "Animal Style" is all about.
